Yehp once you disconnect , just reset the ecu.

Or sell the SAFC and sell the stock ecu and get a used Power FC to suit your factory parts.

NO NO, if you just disconnect it im 99% sure the car will not run because when its installed the safc intercepts the airflow signal wire from the ecu (the wire is cut and the safc is joined in the middle) , so basicaly if the safc is unplugged the airflow signal wire isnt connected to the ecu.

All you have to do is when you unplug the safc you have to rejoin the airflow wire back up at the ecu, its the orange wire with a blue stripe, the safc has a yellow wire and a white conecting to each side to the orange/blue wire, they are on little push connectors so simply unplug the white and yellow wires and connect the orange/blue wires back up to each other.

or you could simply reset the safc settings back to default (so basicaly its turned off) and the car will run like normal but then you will loose your settings and have to get it re-tuned when you want it to work.

Its very easy to unplug sacf and reconnect the orange/blue wire on the ecu.

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
